Influence of electrical double-layer dispersion forces and size dependency on pull-in instability of clamped microplate immersed in ionic liquid electrolytes

Abstract

Plate-type clamped microplate is of the most common constructive elements for developing in-liquid-operating devices. While the electromechanical behavior of clamped microplate in non-liquid environments has exclusively been addressed in the literature, no theoretical studies have yet been conducted on precise modeling of the clamped microplate in electrolyte liquid. Herein, the electromechanical response and instability of the clamped microplate immersed in ionic electrolyte media are investigated. The electrochemical force field is determined using double layer theory and linearized Poisson–Boltzmann equation. The presence of dispersion forces, i.e., Casimir and van der Waals attractions, are included in the theoretical model considering the correction due to the presence of liquid media between the interacting surfaces (three-layer model). To this end, a kind of microplate has been designed, i.e., a square microplate with all edges clamped supported. The strain gradient elasticity is employed to model the size-dependent structural behavior of the clamped microplate. To solve the nonlinear constitutive equation of the system, Extended Kantorovich Method, is employed and the pull-in parameter of the microplate are extracted. Impacts of the dispersion forces and size effect on the instability characteristics are discussed as well as the effect of ion concentration and potential ratio. It is found that the significant difference between the pull-in instability parameters in the modified strain gradient theory and the classical theory for thin microplates is merely due to the consideration of size effect parameter in the modified strain gradient theory. To confirm the validity of formulations, the numerical values of the results are compared. The results predicted via the aforementioned approach are in excellent agreement with those in the literature. Some new examples are solved to demonstrate the applicability of the procedure.
